Some counties charge booking fees, which they charge when someone is arrested but not convicted of anything. They release people and they have some number of days to pay the fee and will get a warrant if that doesn't happen. Essentially generating charges for someone who may not have done anything wrong. That's real shady

Edit: counties, not countries
